Bull vs.. Bicycle.

There are many instances on record
where mems lives have been saved by
speedy horses, but, possibly, the first in
stance in which the treacherous looking
bicycle has figured as life saver oe-
Cured at Stanford, KY, the past week.
DIR. w. b. Penny, Of that place, is
typical Kentuckian, over six feet tall,
and built in proportion. The Doctor
makes speciality of pulling teeth, and
uses his wheel-a fifty-six-inch sky
scraper-in making his visits. Oneeven-
ing recently he made a call several miles
from town, and was delayed until nearly
dark. He started home, however, after
lighting his hub lantern. He had pedaled
along serenely two or three miles over
the smooth Stanford pike, thinking of
supper, when suddenly he heard com
motion in his rear. Glancing back, he
was startled to see mad bull, with head
down and tail erect, charging at him
with full speed. The red side lights of
the lantern had reused the bovine's ire,
and he had determined to annihilate it.
There was no time to think. Grasping
his handles firmly the D0ctor bent him
self to business, and pedaled as he never
pedaled before. Faster and faster went
the light machine, but closer came the
infuriated bull. Straining every nerve
the Doctor pulled himself up a hill,
knowing that once up he could gain upon
his bloodthirsty pursuer, and possibly
escape. A slipped pedal or header
meant death, and he knew it.. But strong
legs and stout machine gained the vic
tory, and the hill top was reached with
the bull not over thirty feet behind. But
the Doctor knew he could quickly coast
away from his enemy on the deOiivity
before him, and throwing his tired legs
over the handle bars, he rapidly drew
away and left his pursuer. The race was
only threc-q quarters of mile, and did
not last much more than two minutes,
but it seemed miles and hours dong to
the man on the wheel. - C0urier-.JoWndS.

washington's Wonderful Monument.

Iaave been living now for some months
at distance of amile away, in full view
of the Washington monument, looking
directly upon its eastern face, says cor
respondent of the Kansas City Journal.
1t never seemed twice alike. 1t has its
moods and changes of color, like the tops
of the Swiss Alps. This morning the
base OF the 600-foot structure was lost in
a deep blue mist, which filed the valley
for depth of couple hundred feet.
Then came a section of, perhaps, 100
feet more in which the shaft was purple
aud pink, the whole crowned with a
white blazing column, hundreds of feet
high, flashing back the sunlight, set
against a deep blue western skyl At
another time you will see the cold, gray
base of the monument rising above the
deep green foliage which surrounds it,
with the dark blue highlands of Airing
ton beyond, and overtopping all these
the graceful shaft pierces the heavens,
towering far above the horizon line, until
its top is lost in sea of fleecy clouds.
1t is realized vision of Jacobs ladder,
real visible stone causeway leading
from heaven to earth. Do you know of
any other monument like this2 A few
evenings ago there was a grand thunder
shower in the east. The west was black
with darkness, and even the white monu-
ment was blotted out of sight. But at
every flash of the lightning the whole
eastern face Of the monument CLEANED
and flashed like polished sword, coming
out of the darkness with suddenness
and vividness that was startling. 1t
seemed to be a CHASTITY monument, q col
umn of electricity, which leaped from
the earth to the sky. ! am sure no other
monument in this world can exhibit such
phase as that.

Saratoga chips.

''Do Saratoga chips come from Sara,
toga" inquired Nail and E1press re-
porter of New York grocer.
''Not much" said the grocer. "They
are made in this city, and many are
shipped to Saratoga. But II you want
to Know all about them just 60 up to the
bakery and see how they are made"
At the bakery it was learned that the
concern has monopoly of the business
in this city, and that there arc only three
makers of Saratoga chips in the country.
Chips are an American institution, and
are not known aboad save for some small
lots that have been exported. The pro-
cess Of manufacturing is in part secret.
The potatoes are peeled and sliced by
machinery. They are washed and dried
between muslin clothes. If they were
now fried the amount of starch that they
contain would make them brown, and
the secret of the business is to remove all
Of the starch, so that the chips will be
perfectly white. When this is done they
are put into the hot grease, and come out
curled and crisp and with the delicious
flavor that has made them famous the
world over. Said the manager:
I'VE use seventy-five barrels of pota-
toes week, keep seven bakers at work,
and have three wagons out delivering.
Hotels take them by the barrel.
restaurants take them in twenty-five
pound boxes, and for grocers to serve to
private families we put them up in one
pound cartons. The dining cars on
nearly all the railroads use them, and we
have sent some to England. Cities as
far away as Jacksonville, Florida, and
San Francisco send to us for Saratoga
chips. They will keep for three months.
A few minutes in hot oven makes them
as crisp as. though they were just
fried"

Where Dancing is a Passion.

presume those who have not Travelled
in Spain hardly realize how thoroughly
that country Us given to the worship oi

dance demon seizes on Spaniards at a
times and under all circumstances

the porchcs of the stately mansions. A
peripatetic musician comes along strum
ming his guitar and in an instant the
maid servants throw aside their broome,
the work women set down the pitchers
they are carrying to the fountain, TIE
muletecrs leave their mules, the inn
keeper forgets your dinner, and all spring
forward, arms akimbo and eyes spark
ling. Their feet Just touch the ground,
they balance in unison with the music
and dance with their souls as well as
with their bodies. Let tourist pay a
visit TO Toledo and put up at the ancient
hostclry Of De Limo, and let guitar
player station himself under the great
sombre archway that Don Quixote him
self would not have passed without q
forcboding of evil. He will see with his
own eyes how the natural order of things
will be disarranged and everything
thrown into confusion. A fandango will
begin in the court, the kitchen and the
street, and amid such hubbub that he
will think that he has taken leave of his
senses. One day at st. Sebastian the
regiment passed by with band at its
head. A fsndango was played. Even

Their nurses joined in, swapping their
fingers. The passcrs-by came to the as
sistance Of the nurses. The soldiers
themselves couldn't stand the tempta-
ton, but fell out Of the ranks and min
gled in the dance.

Watches for the Blind.

"This is one Of the cutcst things in
the watch line that has Yet appeared, -"
said Jeweler Charles S, CrOSSnaa, hold
ing up one of the new Swiss watches de-
signed for the use of the blind, "The
old raised figure watches were clumsy
and the blind people we've constantly
bending or breaking che watch hands by
touching them, In this watch "A small peg
is set in the centre of each figure, When
the hour hand is approaching a certain
hour the peg for that hour drops when
the quarter before it is passed. The per-
son feels the peg is down, and then counts
hack to twelve. He can thus tell the
time within few minutes, and by prac-
tiee he can become so expert as to tell the
time almost exactly. They have been in
use about six months, and there is a steady
and growing demand for them.-Ne,o

JeNcrson's Education.

For boy born in a wilderness, Jeffer-

classical studies at "A, and a college
